This is a wine crafted with absolute respect for the primary fruit. To capture the authentic aromatic profile of the Mencía grape, the harvest is conducted entirely by hand. Following a rigorous cold maceration, the fruit is destemmed but crucially left uncrushed. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, incorporating a traditional field blend of minority local varieties to add nuanced complexity. The wine is then matured for up to eight months in French oak barrels, allowing the structure to seamlessly integrate without masking the vibrant energy of the vineyard. Pouring an intense, deep colour, this Mencía opens with a striking concentration of wild red and black woodland fruits, underpinned by complex, fresh balsamic notes and a distinct, savoury minerality. On the palate, it is broad and beautifully balanced, structured by dense, fine-grained tannins that point to exceptional quality.
